    (Department of Shalya Shalakya,Gampaha Wickramarachchi Ayurveda Institute,University of Kelaniya,Sri Lanka, 2017) Ramteke, R.B.; Vaijwade, A.P.
    Various Chakshushya Dravyas have been described in Ayurvedic literature both in Bruhatrayi and Laghutrayi. Bhavprakash Nighantu is one among these Samhitas of Laghutrayi. This Bhavprakash Nighantu mainly deals with Dravyaguna. Due to its Karmapradhanya, Bhavprakash Nighantu was selected for this study. Two types of Chakshushya Dravyas have been described in this Nighantu, one of which is Chakshuhitakaraka i.e. benecial for eyes, the other one, Chakshurogahara, is used for treating eye disorders. However, the effect of Chakshushya Dravyas on Chakshurindriyas has not been elaborated by any author. The present study is a critical analysis on Chakshushya Dravyas and their line of action on the basis of Rasapanchaka. In the fourth generation of antibiotics, Chakshushya dravyas contribute in the protection of eyes and prevention of eye diseases.
